DESCRIPTION:*Live coding examples using Python and AWS Lambda!*\n\nSummary
 :\n\nFinding the longest common sequence for a DNA or protein sequence to 
 identify regions of similarity within DNA and protein sequences is a well 
 known problem in bioinformatics. In this talk\, we will take a fresh look 
 at surprisingly similar problems in the world of financial data and techno
 logy: How can we clean incoming tick data for high frequency trading? And\
 , how do you find an unintetionally introduced error in a spreadsheet? Thi
 s is a hands-on talk with a some live coding examples using Python and AWS
  Lambda.\n\nSpeaker bio:\n\nBjoern Stiel is the founder of Pathio\, London
  based technology startup that provides a version control solution for Exc
 el. Before starting this own venture\, Bjoern worked in technology and tra
 ding at UBS Investment Bank in London. At UBS\, he was responsible for bui
